Iced Earth, by which I mean founder/guitarist Jon Schaffer and his ever-changing cadre of companions, has weathered a lot of instability over the years. Personnel rotate in and out like clockwork, and the revolving door that supplies the lineup has added another new member for each of the last three years. Perhaps the most noteworthy is the new vocalist, Into Eternity's Stu Block, who was thrust into the spotlight following Matt Barlow's second (and, evidently, final) departure from the band. Live In Ancient Kourion debuts the then-new lineup (quickly made obsolete in traditional Iced Earth style by Brent Smedley's departure afterwards) in spectacular fashion.
